Pro tip: Top your ramen with nutritional yeast, red curry paste, sour cream, our tender garlic chicken thighs or miso paste for extra flavor.

If you're looking to make this a bigger meal, you can serve with crispy gluten free egg rolls, gluten free potstickers, or fresh gluten free spring rolls. A cucumber salad or avocado salad are other great sides. You can also serve a small bowl of ramen on the side with my sweet and savory orange chicken.
